Daddy Daughter Day!

Sunday was our 2nd Annual Daddy-Daughter Day! We had such a great time, despite the fact that Little Miss had a runny nose, a HUGE molar popping through her gums and a low grade fever because of it! We headed off to Jenkinsons for an afternoon of cloudy weather (but NO rain yet) fun!!

We took Kiera to the aquarium first and she absolutely LOVED it! She would stand on the little shelf in front of the tanks and watch the fish with such innocence and enthusiasm. Those fish are funny...it's like they know that you're watching and come right up to you! She thought it was awesome. She wasn't into the sharks, but loved the coral reef fish...bright colors :) They had the biggest puffer fish I've EVER seen and it scared the hell out of me.

Then we took her to go on some rides. She had such fun on the carousel and loved the Dumbo ride...although Sean's stomach did not. Sean got on all the rides for free, so he was the designated ride guy. Finally, we had a really nice lunch at the Tiki Bar.

Today was the last day of school so I have eight weeks off with my peanut and I'm super excited about it! I just hope that the weather improves because I am completely over this rain! I have so many plans and none of them include RAIN!

My sister Danielle is coming down on Sunday to watch Kiera for me on Monday while I wrap up some curriculum work and I'm super excited to see her! She is THE MOST AMAZING Sister and Aunt and I'm so blessed to have her in my life. She's always made it her business to get down here, but since Kiera's been born she's really made it her business to be down here! I cannot even begin to explain the feelings I get when I see them together...Kiera just adores her...and the boys (her very first cousins). To think of not having both of my sisters in my life is painful...I hope they know how grateful I am to have them in my life...and Kiera's life, especially.
